Ellen is certainly "connected". This is what the frozen sack of Mighty Dog Food looks like .... they use it on the farm! Check out the website on the Social Studies page.
The term ‘wilding tree’ is given to trees that spring up in places, usually in large numbers, where they are not wanted. In the Mackenzie basin and upper Waitaki valley, as in other areas, wilding conifer trees are a major problem. The worst offenders are:
Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine)
Pinus nigra (Corsican pine)
Larix decidua (European larch)
Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir or Oregon)
Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine)
Other wilding trees that are a problem on public conservation land in the region include rowan, elder, silver birch, elderberry, willow and cherry.
Why are wilding conifers a problem?
Once a wilding conifer starts to produce cones it presents a significant risk to the landscape. The seeds can remain viable for many years inside the cones and within the ground seeds can remain viable for 3–5 years. One tree can produce thousands of seeds and if these seeds are blown by strong winds they can be carried kilometres away.
A. Many women and girls will experience situations where they feel threatened or are unsafe. Because of societal attitudes women and girls are at risk for reasons directly related to their gender. These specially designed courses offer practical and effective ways to deal with fear and with situations ranging from obscene phone calls to rape attacks. These courses provide a safe environment where women and girls can learn how to keep themselves and their families safe.
Guy's can feel unsafe and threatened too / half of that stuff relates to boy's.
Because I am not at school can you remind Mrs O'Carrol about the guy's self defense thing from Caleb.

Q. Why is it only for girls and women?
A. Many women and girls will experience situations where they feel threatened or are unsafe. Because of societal attitudes women and girls are at risk for reasons directly related to their gender.
